Abstract Background: Central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma manifests as a highly aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma, either confined to the central nervous system or secondary to spread of systemic diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Rising incidence of CNS lymphoma has been observed, especially in elderly populations. Presentation depends on the burden and location of disease, with a varying spectrum of symptoms ranging from headaches and cognitive changes to focal neurological deficits and seizures. Neuropsychiatric presentation of CNS lymphoma has been seen and anecdotally reported but appears to be under-represented in the literature. In this retrospective review of patients with CNS lymphoma at MCA we report a cohort of patients who presented with primarily neuropsychiatric symptoms Methods: After receiving IRB approval, we retrospectively identified 135 patients with ICD 9 and 10 codes consistent with CNS lymphoma, seen at Mayo Clinic Arizona, between 1998-2018. Symptoms identified prior to presentation with the CNS component of the lymphoma were recorded with attention to those with depression, anxiety, agitation, psychosis, disinhibition, and apathy. Patients with long term premorbid psychiatric disease or symptoms that developed later in the course as a result the stressors of disease and treatment were excluded. Results: A total of 19 out of 136 patients (14%) were noted to have primarily neuropsychiatric symptoms prior to diagnosis of CNS lymphoma. Symptom onset to diagnosis of PCNSL ranged from 3 weeks to 11 months. The average age was 65, and 47% of subjects were male. Depression, apathy, agitation and features of parkinsonism were the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms identified, with psychosis and disinhibition being the least frequent. The majority of these patients had frontal lobe lesions (42%), although several also had multifocal disease at time of diagnosis. Improvement of neuropsychiatric disease was not explicitly discussed or noted in the treatment and post-treatment notes. In fact, we found it notable that follow up notes generally did not comment on these psychiatric symptoms at all, and there was no clear management plan separate from treating the disease process. Parkinsonian features were observed in 5 patients (26%), with onset range from 2 weeks to 29 months prior to PCNSL diagnosis. The associated lesions were mostly deep basal ganglia or corpus callosum except in one case of left parietal lobe tumor. Notably, all patients had resolution of their parkinsonism with treatment of the lymphoma. Conclusions: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are a rare but noteworthy presentation of CNS lymphoma, distinct from cognitive changes that have been previously described with this condition. There is an increasing awareness of neurological illness presenting as pure psychiatric disturbance, prompting exclusion of organic disease, particularly in elderly patients who present with new psychiatric complaints.

Abstract Background Myeloid neoplasms (MN) occurring secondary to treatment of non-malignant disease, especially autoimmune diseases (AID), and the overlap between them, is an increasing clinically important observation. Confounding variables for myeloid transformation include the nature of autoimmune disease as an incessant, chronically activated inflammatory cascade that has been associated with an increased risk of myeloid malignancy, and disease modifying therapies, often with cytotoxic and immunosuppressive drugs. Thus, the addition of therapeutic agents for treatment of AID theoretically amplifies the opportunity for MN to develop in genetically susceptible individuals. To our knowledge, there is no large study evaluating a comprehensive primary AID population that developed MDS or AML with detailed assessment of therapeutic interventions for AID. The presented study queries the association of cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating agents to treat AID as risk factors for developing myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods In a 10-year period from 2004-2014, a total of 40,011 patients with an ICD-9 coded diagnosis of AID were seen at Mayo Clinic Arizona and Florida campuses; 311 patients from this population had a concomitant coded diagnosis of MDS and/or AML. In an IRB approved, retrospective chart review, we confirmed 86 cases meeting strict inclusion criteria for AID and confirmed MDS or AML. We performed a case-control match from the same primary autoimmune population for age, gender, and autoimmune specific diagnosis at a 2:1 ratio querying for therapeutic interventions. Results Myeloid neoplasm specifics in our case cohort of 86 patients were 55 MDS, 21 de novo AML, and 10 AML with history of MDS. Average age was 72 years with a slight male predominance (57%). Rheumatoid arthritis (26.4%), psoriasis (20.7%), systemic lupus (13.8%), was the most common autoimmune profiles. Median onset of autoimmune disease to diagnosis of myeloid neoplasm was 6 years (range 1-54 years). Up to 26% controls documented no systemic agent for treatment of autoimmune disease and similarly 12.8% of the case cohort (p=0.142). Case and control populations treated with systemic therapies had similar exposures by category for immune-modulating agents (33.7% and 37.8% respectively) and cytotoxic therapies (47.7 and 44.8% respectively). A total of 57/86 cases (66.3%) received either a cytotoxic or immune-modulating agent. In comparison, 105/172 (61.1%) controls received either agent; p=0.495. Azathioprine was the only statistically significant agent exposure observed more frequently in the study cohort than controls with an OR of 7.05 (p= < 0.001). There was no increased incidence of MDS or AML in TNF-antagonist treated patients. No significant correlation for duration of agent exposure by drug category was observed. Discussion In a large primary AID population, azathioprine exposure was associated with a 7 fold risk of MDS or AML (p=< 0.001). Notable, but not statistically significant case cohort trends among cytotoxic agents was exposure to cyclophosphamide (OR 3.58) followed by mitoxantrone (OR 2.73). Methotrexate, mercaptopurine, and mycophenolate had favorable odd ratios, but these were not statistically significant. No association was found for TNF-inhibitory agents. Finally, there was no association of drug exposure time to the incidence in development of MDS or AML. Disclosures Dueck: Bayer: Honoraria.

Abstract Background Cytotoxic agents are a well-established risk factor for therapy related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN). The incidence of t-MN in patients (pts) with autoimmune diseases (AID) treated with cytotoxic and immuno-modulatory agents are not well described in the literature. Most case series assess an MDS/AML population and co-occurrence with an AID. To our knowledge, there exists no large case-control studies evaluating a primary AID population that developed therapy-related MDS or AML, and the relationship to detailed therapeutic intervention for AID. Our study queries the association of cytotoxic and immune-modulating agents to treat AID as risk factor for developing MDS or AML. Methods Between 2004-2014, 23,671 pts with an ICD-9 coded AID were seen at Mayo Clinic Arizona; 148 pts from this population had a concomitant coded diagnosis of MDS/AML. In an IRB approved, retrospective chart review we confirmed 61 cases meeting strict inclusion criteria. We performed a case-control match from the same primary AID population for age, gender, and autoimmune specific diagnosis at a 2:1 ratio. AML/MDS cases were compared to controls by use of chi-square test for frequency data. Odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were constructed using conditional logistic regression. Case incidence was compared to SEER data for the general population Results Of 61 cases 33 were MDS, 20 de-novo AML, and 8 MDS transformed to AML. Psoriasis 16 (26.2%) and rheumatoid arthritis 14 (23.0%) were the most common autoimmune diagnoses, followed by systemic lupus 11 (18%), Crohn's disease 7 (11.5%), and ulcerative colitis 5 (8.2%). 39 out of 61 cases (63.9%) received either a cytotoxic or immune modulating agent for AID, compared to 64/122 (52.5%) in the control group; p=0.140. 7/61 cases (11.5%) received both a cytotoxic and immune modulating agent as compared to 16/122 (13.1%) in controls; p=0.753. Overall, the case population received more agents than controls. No cytotoxic or immune-modulating treatment was documented in 16% of cases and 36% controls. Exposures to cytotoxic and immune-modulating agents were similar in both case and control cohorts. Exposure time was not statistically significant. Azathioprine was the only statistically significant agent exposure observed more often in the case cohort than control. Per SEER data, over a 10-year period in a general age-matched population that is comparable to our AID population cohort, we would expect 54 MDS and 35 AML cases. Table 1.

Furthermore, the incidence of myeloid neoplasm occurring in association with treatment of AID is not higher than expected in the general SEER population. However, the case cohort was exposed to more agents overall and more likely to have exposure to azathioprine than controls. Limitations of our study are associated with its retrospective nature, possible associated underrepresentation of t-MN, and autoimmune population profile. Nevertheless, this is the largest case study with detailed drug exposures with timelines for pts with AID, contributing to a better understanding regarding possible risk of developing MDS/AML in pts treated for AID. Confirmation of the same study at Mayo Clinic Rochester and Florida are ongoing. Disclosures Al-Kali: Novartis: Research Funding.

Abstract Background Survivors of ER-expressing operable breast cancer (ER+BC) generally do not receive hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms due to concern about provoking recurrence of disease. Single dose depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) 400 mg IM has previously been shown (Loprinzi CL, et al. J Clin Oncol 2006;24:1409) to be the most effective non-estrogen therapy available for menopausal hot flashes (HF) but long-term evidence of safety in survivors of ER+BC is lacking. Methods Consecutive patients previously diagnosed with ER+BC who received MPA for HF between January 2007 and December 2012 were retrospectively identified in the breast cancer patient database at Mayo Clinic Arizona. Medical records were audited for breast cancer outcomes in these cases and in contemporaneous control patients with ER+BC who did not receive MPA, matched for age, stage of disease, and year of diagnosis. Statistical comparisons of local-regional recurrence and event-free survival were performed. Results 92 patients who received MPA were identified and matched 1:1 with contemporaneous controls. Median follow-up duration was 5.7 years in cases and 4.5 years in controls. Estimated local-regional recurrence free survival at 10 years was 85% (95% CI, 72-100%) in cases and 95% (95% CI, 86-100%) in controls. Matched pairs hazard ratio was 1.0 (95% CI, 0.06-16.0) for local-regional recurrence free survival. Estimated event-free survival at 10 years was 81% (95% CI, 69-97%) in cases and 76% (95% CI, 64-92%) in controls. Matched pairs hazard ratio was 0.38 (95% CI, 0.10-1.41) for event-free survival. The majority (77%) of case patients experienced satisfactory relief of hot flashes from MPA injection. Conclusion In this retrospective case-control study we were unable to identify a detrimental effect of MPA therapy for HF in survivors of ER+BC. MPA may be acceptable for management of HF in this population. Citation Format: Ertz-Archambault N, Rogoff L, Kosiorek H, Ernst B, Anderson K, Pockaj B, Gray R, Northfelt D.
